Medium-long run. 5:56 am, 29° F, 56% humidity, winds 2 S. Yesterday's snow is pretty well all gone. Still, there was no cloud cover and it got cold over night. But it was nice and sunny, though still cold, by the end of my run. I ran the home/work loop. I try to do that once a week. This Pfitzinger training plan doesn't have hill sprints and hill repeats like the Hudson plan I did last year. But I figure I can make up for that by running hills in my regular runs. Actually, I don't really have much of a choice, but this home/work loop is a little hillier than my other routes. And it's different in that the first half is mostly downhill and the second half is mostly uphill. Most of my other routes are the reverse. I don't feel well. I've got a stuffy head. I think it's a cold this time, not allergies like it was a couple of weeks ago. Dang it. AP: 9:16. Splits: 10:13, 9:40, 9:41, 9:33, 9:36, 9:08, 9:19, 9:03, 8:46, 8:29, 8:30. By my arbitrary threshold for fast miles, those last 2 miles maybe should have been classified as fast miles, but they're right on the threshold, and I wasn't pushing that hard, so I'm calling them slow miles.
